Both run about a year on standard batteries, connect over Bluetooth with Wi-Fi and Matter through a SwitchBot Hub, and reach Google Home, Alexa, Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Where the SwitchBot Meter Pro pulls ahead is the screen and the memory: a 3.6 inch LCD that also shows time, date and a weather trend, plus 68 days of local history against 30, on a roomier body. Pick the SwitchBot Meter for tracking several rooms on a budget, and the SwitchBot Meter Pro if you want a larger display that doubles as a clock and a weather station.

What the differences mean

Screen

The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6 inch LCD that shows time, date and a weather trend, while the SwitchBot Meter uses a 2.1 inch LCD that shows temperature and humidity only. The Pro turns the sensor into a small clock and weather station.

Local history

The SwitchBot Meter Pro keeps 68 days of readings on the device and the SwitchBot Meter keeps 30, both extendable to unlimited storage with a Hub Mini. If you want to look back a couple of months without the cloud, the Pro holds more.

Battery and size

The SwitchBot Meter is the smaller unit at 55 x 55 x 24 mm and runs on two AAA cells. The SwitchBot Meter Pro is noticeably larger at 92 x 79 x 25 mm to fit its screen and runs on two AA cells. Both are rated for about a year.

Low-battery alert

The SwitchBot Meter Pro supports a low-battery alert, where the SwitchBot Meter's spec leaves that undeclared. It is a small difference on a device you can also watch on its screen.

Price

The SwitchBot Meter is the more affordable of the two and is the one to buy for covering several rooms at once. The SwitchBot Meter Pro asks a premium for its display, so it only pays off if you want the bigger screen.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors describe the same easy setup and the same Hub trade-off: the base unit reads over Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter only arrive once a SwitchBot Hub is added. SwitchBot Meter owners praise the temperature accuracy, with units compared side by side reading within a fraction of a degree of each other, the always-on 2.1 inch LCD that needs no app, and the long battery life; a minority report display or longevity issues, and several note humidity runs slightly less precise than temperature. SwitchBot Meter Pro owners lead with the larger screen they can read across a room, the time and weather trend it adds, and pairing it with a SwitchBot outdoor sensor to watch indoor and outdoor conditions together, though they flag the premium price and the same Hub requirement.

Upgrading from the SwitchBot Meter?

Moving from the SwitchBot Meter to the SwitchBot Meter Pro buys display and memory rather than better sensing. Both read temperature and humidity to the same standard, run about a year on standard batteries and connect the same way, over Bluetooth with a SwitchBot Hub for Wi-Fi and Matter. The SwitchBot Meter Pro adds a 3.6 inch screen with time, date and a weather trend, holds 68 days of local history against 30, and can show an outdoor sensor's readings alongside its own. Keep the SwitchBot Meter if you want several cheap sensors around the house or a compact unit. Move up only if the larger display and the extra history are worth the premium to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: SwitchBot Meter or SwitchBot Meter Pro?

The SwitchBot Meter is the better value, doing the same temperature and humidity sensing for a lower price. The SwitchBot Meter Pro wins on the display and the local history, with a larger screen, time, date and a weather trend and 68 days of records. Every other compared row is a tie.

What is the biggest difference between the SwitchBot Meter and the SwitchBot Meter Pro?

The display. The SwitchBot Meter Pro has a 3.6 inch LCD that also shows time, date and a weather trend, where the SwitchBot Meter has a 2.1 inch LCD for temperature and humidity only.

Do the SwitchBot Meter and the SwitchBot Meter Pro have the same battery life?

Yes, both are rated for about a year. The SwitchBot Meter runs on two AAA cells and the SwitchBot Meter Pro on two AA cells, and the more capable Pro's larger display does not shorten the rated runtime.

Do the SwitchBot Meter and the SwitchBot Meter Pro need a hub?

Both work over Bluetooth on their own for local readings. A SwitchBot Hub is needed on either one for Wi-Fi, remote alerts and Matter, and the Hub Mini also unlocks unlimited server history.

Which of the two SwitchBot sensors works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google Home?

Both do, through a SwitchBot Hub, along with Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. Neither connects natively to those platforms over Bluetooth alone, and Matter also needs the hub.

Who should buy the SwitchBot Meter Pro?

Buyers who want a larger display that doubles as a clock and a weather station, who value the longer local history, or who plan to pair it with a SwitchBot outdoor sensor. For plain room sensing, the SwitchBot Meter does the same job for less.
